Traditional Karate Club is a small and welcoming karate club located in Macclesfield, New Zealand. With a focus on teaching Shitoryu Shukokai Osita-ha Karate-do, the club aims to provide local communities in Rode Heath YPCC, Gawsworth, Goldenhill Kidsgrove, and Smallwood with the opportunity to learn a non-competitive and highly effective traditional style of karate.
At Traditional Karate Club, members will be trained in a variety of techniques including punching, kicking, blocking, self-defence, pad work, kata, and bunkai. Bunkai is the application of kata, which is considered the foundation of all karate styles. Understanding and mastering kata is essential in comprehending the true essence of karate.
By practising karate at Traditional Karate Club, individuals can expect to not only gain physical fitness but also develop discipline and improve self-confidence. The club instils a sense of security in its members, enabling them to feel confident in their self-defence skills when walking down the street.
The club offers training sessions for different age groups at various locations. Young persons community centre (YPCC) in Rode Heath hosts classes every Thursday from 18:00 to 19:00 for young practitioners and from 19:00 to 20:00 for adults. Additionally, Mossley Old School in Congleton holds classes on Sundays from 11:00 to 12:00.
